Little Squares:

Great Shakes in Palm Springs: huge thumbs up (especially because they had a dairy-free shake for yours truly!) Also, TKB (The Kid Business) was outstanding. And their story is even better. Also, King's Highway at The Ace Hotel has been a slam dunk every time. *the more you know* 💫 #palmsprings #foodie #greatshakes

Gerald and ToonTown. (Their current nicknames out of dozens 🙈). #morriscrewinca #rooandlittlejo #sandiego

I'm going to miss these San Diego nights. One week left before the next leg of our life adventure! 🌅 #sandiego #seaportvillage #morriscrewinca

How can you go to The Ace and not? 😎🙈 #morriscrewinca #acehotel #palmsprings

I wonder if this will always happen in the chaos and speed of life? But so far, every time Rowdy's birthday has inched closer, without even trying, flashbacks of that week come to mind. This day, three years ago, we walked the Rio lake oooone more time. We had fajitas ooooone more time. I told him I was starting to think this baby was NEVER going to come. He tried to keep me from getting discouraged but could hardly stand his own excitement to see his first son. We talked about any other labor starter options ("We have tried everything!" 😩) It's fun that he was the one. You know? He's the one who knows because he waited too. He walked with me too. He tried to start labor too. He got excited about early contractions too. He got bummed when they stopped too. It's not just "Oh, I like your personality!" (which I do), it's also: you have DONE things with me. Together we know. And only we know what it was like to be the waiting-parents of Rowdy Neil Morris. The "shared" part of life with your person gets me. And I can't help but reflect on those conversations, and experiments, and frustrations, and uncontainable anticipation we shared together those final days. #calebwithkristen #morriscrewinca pc: @ally_michele

Little Sentences:

"I've had it with you and your emotional constipation!" - Tantor from Tarzan 😂

Sooooo, in October the dear and darling Jamie Delaine tagged me in a "4 things" post. I never got around to doing it, but I always wanted to! Both my shoots this weekened were rained out, so I have no new shoots to post. That means.... I get to do the "4 things" questionnaire!

Four (4) things I did today…1- Scraped my windshield of all the frost/ice-ness. It took a long time this morning. It was soo cooolld.2- Read Isaiah 42 :D Loved this part:"Thus says God, the Lord, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk in it: 'I am the Lord; I have called you in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you.'"

3- Ate some pretzels! Yummy!4- Drove some little humans to school (ps. I am so glad I don't have to go to school.)

Four (4) things on my to do list…1- Run (cause I'm doing a 10k in two weeks. yikes!) & Shower2- Deliver a whoooole bunch of finished jobs! Yay! (The images are on the new DVD's I got from Disc Makers. Woohoo!!)3- Start finishing a wedding (I don't think that makes sense... haha)4- Meet with a friend for lunch -- three cheers for soup at Panera, Taylor and warm :DFour (4) of my guiltiest pleasures…1- Dance parties in my room :D Especially with The Littles, but its fun by myself too.2- Blog-hopping! (You start at one blog, then through comments and links make your way around a whole bunch of new blogs!) It's fun because I actually get to call it work! (It is!)3- This one is a little weirder, but I love thinking about names. I guess technically its a baby name addiction, but I love hearing cool names and doodling names and mixing and matching names! Not even names that I like, necessarily, but just sound cool! For example, a family in my church named their son Johnny Danger. How cool is that? Or Reagan West. That's just a cool name4- Doing photobooth pictures at the mall. It's hard to resist :D

Four (4) random facts about me…1- I have been raised to not be a picky eater. Doesn't mean I like everything, but I can eat almost anything - no matter how much I hate it. The ONE thing I just cannoooot do is deviled eggs. Uggghgross. I sat in front of seafood casserole for 4 hours, and eventually ate it. Creamed spinach was on my plate for two days - and I finally obeyed. Deviled eggs? After 3 meals, I rubbed some mustard on my teeth (so when mom checked my breath would smell like it) and put it in my pocket under my school uniform, and threw it away before class (so mom couldn't find it at home.) I was NOT going to eat the deviled eggs.2- I have fainted three times this past year (I'm a mess when it comes to needles. That's why I don't use novacaine when I have cavities drilled. I can't handle needles.)3- I have a very, very hard time sitting still. It's not that I'm bored all the time! I just need to move around. A lot. haha Poor passengers who have to ride next to me on airplanes....4- The very first country song I ever learned was "Three Wooden Crosses" by Randy Travis, and it's still one of my favorites.

Four (4) people that I want to tag to pass this onto to hear more about...1- Lydia Jane (because she's a bff and one of the best photographers around. and needs to blog)2- Peter Bang (because he is awwwesome)3- Megan Beth (because I am so excited to get to know her better and is thrilled we met!)4- Armin Defiesta (because he is the networking King and would love something like this... I think!)
